Not All Muslims currently in a standoff with French police after killing children at a Jewish school

REPORTING FROM PARIS — Two French police officers have been shot and injured in a standoff at an apartment in southwest France, where a man claiming to be a member of Al Qaeda and suspected of killing seven people — including a rabbi and three children — is holed up.

The standoff in Toulouse began at 3 a.m. Wednesday when police from an elite armed unit surrounded a building in a residential area of the city less than 48 hours after a gunman attacked a local Jewish school, killing four people…

French Interior Minister Claude Guéant said officers were under instructions to take the 24-year-old suspect alive. The man is of French nationality and Algerian origin. Multiple news agencies are identified the man as Mohammed Merah…

Those killed at the Ozar-Hatorah school were Jonathan Sandler, 31, a rabbi and teacher; his two sons, Arieh, 5, and Gabriel, 4; and Miriam Monsonego, 7, the daughter of the school’s headmaster. The gunman had chased the little girl into the school campus and executed her with a shot to the head.

If you’re wondering why this man picked a Jewish school as his target, or what his name or self-identification have to do with anything, you are a racist. This is yet another in a long line of completely unrelated attacks that have absolutely nothing to do with each other. Nothing to see here, folks.

They’re under orders to take Merah alive, but that doesn’t mean he can’t fall down the stairs. Eight or nine times.
